Star Trek’s Holodeck recreated using ChatGPT and video game assets

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise leverage the holodeck, an empty room capable of generating 3D environments, to prepare for missions and to entertain themselves, simulating everything from lush jungles to the London of Sherlock Holmes. Deeply immersive and fully interactive, holodeck-created environments are infinitely customizable, using nothing but language: the crew has only to ask the computer to generate an environment, and that space appears in the holodeck. Today, virtual interactive environments are also used to train robots prior to real-world deployment in a process called "Sim2Real." However, virtual interactive…

New Mexico experimented with a basic income program that gave $500 a month to immigrant families. They used the money to pay rent and secure jobs.

New Mexico experimented with a basic income program that gave $500 a month to immigrant families. They used the money to pay rent and secure jobs.

New Mexico's basic income pilot set out to fill a gap in America's financial safety net: many immigrants aren't able to access help.Pandemic-era relief was largely restricted to US citizens, leaving undocumented households and families with mixed citizenship status without stimulus, rental assistance, or unemployment checks.With growing economic need, community leaders in New Mexico decided to try a different strategy — no-strings-attached cash payments."Mixed-status immigrant families don't always enjoy the same public benefits that other families and workers do because of their status," Marcela Díaz, executive director of economic justice organization Somos Un Pueblo Unido, told Business Insider. "What does…

CataLM: Empowering Catalyst Design Through Large Language Models

CataLM: Empowering Catalyst Design Through Large Language Models

arXiv:2405.17440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The field of catalysis holds paramount importance in shaping the trajectory of sustainable development, prompting intensive research efforts to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) in catalyst design. Presently, the fine-tuning of open-source large language models (LLMs) has yielded significant breakthroughs across various domains such as biology and healthcare. Drawing inspiration from these advancements, we introduce CataLM Cata}lytic Language Model), a large language model tailored to the domain of electrocatalytic materials. Our findings demonstrate that CataLM exhibits remarkable potential for facilitating human-AI collaboration in catalyst knowledge exploration and design. To the best of our knowledge, CataLM stands…

Google’s AI Is Churning Out a Deluge of Completely Inaccurate, Totally Confident Garbage

Google’s AI Is Churning Out a Deluge of Completely Inaccurate, Totally Confident Garbage

Google's AI search, which swallows up web results and delivers them to users in a regurgitated package, delivers each of its AI-paraphrased answers to user queries in a concise, coolly confident tone. Just one tiny problem: it's wrong. A lot.Over the past week, X-formerly-Twitter has lit ablaze with screenshots of Google's "AI Overview" spewing a seemingly unending torrent of inaccurate, though confidently stated, answers to user queries. They range from hilarious to bizarre to even downright harmful, rewriting history and offering extremely bad pizza advice along the way. Reading through the AI-spun results, it's enough to make you wonder: what,…

Towards Gradient-based Time-Series Explanations through a SpatioTemporal Attention Network

Towards Gradient-based Time-Series Explanations through a SpatioTemporal Attention Network

arXiv:2405.17444v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we explore the feasibility of using a transformer-based, spatiotemporal attention network (STAN) for gradient-based time-series explanations. First, we trained the STAN model for video classifications using the global and local views of data and weakly supervised labels on time-series data (i.e. the type of an activity). We then leveraged a gradient-based XAI technique (e.g. saliency map) to identify salient frames of time-series data. According to the experiments using the datasets of four medically relevant activities, the STAN model demonstrated its potential to identify important frames of videos. Source link lol

Evaluating the Adversarial Robustness of Retrieval-Based In-Context Learning for Large Language Models

Evaluating the Adversarial Robustness of Retrieval-Based In-Context Learning for Large Language Models

arXiv:2405.15984v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the emergence of large language models, such as LLaMA and OpenAI GPT-3, In-Context Learning (ICL) gained significant attention due to its effectiveness and efficiency. However, ICL is very sensitive to the choice, order, and verbaliser used to encode the demonstrations in the prompt. Retrieval-Augmented ICL methods try to address this problem by leveraging retrievers to extract semantically related examples as demonstrations. While this approach yields more accurate results, its robustness against various types of adversarial attacks, including perturbations on test samples, demonstrations, and retrieved data, remains under-explored. Our study reveals that retrieval-augmented models can…
